Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
画面上很北欧，清新与邪典齐飞，春花与血腥一色。主题有点类似于《妈咪晚安》，在成长的关键节点上，亲情的缺席所导致的黑暗后果。但本片在人物形象方面，要比冷峻的日耳曼民族丰满很多。特别是“Mother”这个角色，而一直在边缘游走的“Father”则非常完美地体现出家庭关系的非正常倾斜。阿莉是由谭雅孕育（孵化）出来的，作为谭雅的对立面，是谭雅潜意识与黑暗面的外化。最终，二人有回归统一。
情节其实我不太喜欢，尤其是是集体作弊的情节感觉会给孩子们产生负面影响，但这是宸宝第一次看电影默默流泪，完全沉浸到结尾朋友们冒着生命危险互相救援的情节里了，结尾散场还久久沉思良久，真的挺意外，没想到六岁儿童竟然有如此的共情能力~
芬兰版奇蛋物语...主演换日本人的话也毫无违和的剧情..."尤其现代东亚父母和儿童不宜的摇篮曲"...
自我黑暗面和正义面的较量，一损俱损，最好善良死去，黑暗重生
影楼质感的服化道，制作也真就是80年代的水平。整得跟大风车剧场似的。
I feed on you. I feed on your touch, your rage, your melancholy, your grief, your wrath, your jealousy, your troubles, your love. But it has to be your last drip of blood before death that makes me finally become you.
这个学校和妈，看到话语和规定就想往脸上来两脚，
类似于“养鬼吃人”的片子，有着北欧电影独特的奇幻和恐怖色彩，但情节处理的一般结局没能免俗。特效化妆不错。
儿童电影的镜头语言多少有点费解了，但是小朋友很喜欢的样子。孩子们全棚拍无实物表演，有这个表现力很强了
剧情说不上太精彩，但有一条短评说这类电影从不解释恶为什么存在，仿佛本就是自然的一部分这点，完美点中我对这类电影长久偏爱的原因
每一个听话孩子的心里是不是都有一个小怪物，如果父母一味的想要一个乖宝宝，最好的办法是在约束的范围下任其发展，有好有恶，这才是一个完整的正常人。
我喜欢这部电影的滤镜，如果把《仲夏夜惊魂》的画面比作糖果汽水，那《孵化》则是小熊软糖。
表面的光鲜亮丽，暗地的人心攒动。孵化出的鸟孩是女孩内心的实体化，女孩想要爱，关心，和胜利，那如果都得不到，就全部毁掉吧。最终女孩死亡，鸟孩活了下来，母亲微笑，像是美满的生活又回来了一般。
紧张的亲子关系孵育出的暗黑面。纯把“鸟人”看成女主第二人格，剧情会出现很多漏洞。当成芬兰怪谈，鸟人是负面情绪滋养所生，真实存在，解决掉女主厌恶的一切后取代女主上位。
童年最美好的回忆之一，一路感动着看下来，很期待还能有下一部！郑爷爷yyds！！
有一点点像黑天鹅，toxic的母女关系，完美主义控制狂母亲，女孩的青春期性启蒙性压抑……
jumpscare还是很过瘾的 小女孩演技不错
小时候看过皮皮鲁和鲁西西当中的一篇，所以一个人去电影院看了电影！电影时间不算长，但是故事讲述完整，线条流畅，小朋友可以看，大朋友看也不会尬！虽然没有看过这一篇的纸质故事，但是感觉电影真的把老郑故事的核心拍出来了！小演员们都很棒，可惜排片太少，时间段也不好，幸好我看的早！希望可以拍成系列电影，希望以后能有好的宣传好的营销，只要故事拍的好，我会去电影院支持哒！
更应该认为是一个复仇故事，“你夺走了我的母亲，我夺走你的女儿”。小女孩的母亲是现代社会典型的表演型人格，社交媒体上呈现的是最完美的一面，跟丈夫和和气气、一对儿女漂漂亮亮，有一座带花园的院子，枝形吊灯、沙发套和地毯交汇出一片温柔的色调，直到一只误闯的乌鸦出现，用利爪彻底撕破了这张平静美好的画布。紧接着，内心的暴戾很快以杀戮的形式施予这名不速之客，你知道，她不会再有好结果。至于家庭关系中的裂痕似乎都在意料之中：跟丈夫的开放式关系、对女儿的苛刻并不亚于最残忍的亚洲母亲式“鸡娃”，儿子则基本被她忽视，毫无存在感。要对这样一个女人复仇，必须要夺走的是她最心爱的女儿以及她的希望，让她不再有退路。而她“如同尸体分泌黏液”一样的本质的生活，将恶心她自己并恶心所有人。至于恐怖片的“借尸还魂”倒不是什么新招了。
妈妈看到女儿没做好动作，心里不高兴，嘴上却露出恐怖的微笑。女儿浑身压力，却假装和同学笑得那么开心。就喜欢这种虚伪的人物性格！
